The emerging market economies series starts in 2002 at about 8.5, falling to a little above 6 by early 2003. The series then begins an incline, reaching almost 8 in early 2004, before fluctuating between about 6.5 and 7.5 through 2007. The series then increases to peak at about 8.5 in early 2008 before declining to about 7 in early 2010. It increases to about 7.5 in early 2011 before declining until early 2013, when it starts increasing. The series ends in 2013 at a bit below 7.

The United States 5-year series starts in 2002 at about 4.5, falling to about 2.5 by early 2003. The series then begins a fairly steady incline, peaking at about 5 at the start of 2006 before falling again to a bit below 3 at the start of 2008. It rises slightly during the year, before declining to a bit below 2 in early 2009. The series fluctuates between about 1 and 2 until early 2012, when it dips below 1. It starts increasing in mid-2012, ending the series in 2013 at almost 1.5

The EME net private capital inflows series starts in 2002:Q1 a bit below 20 and fluctuates between about negative 5 and 20 through the end of the year. The series increase, reaching about 30 by 2004:Q1. The series generally increases, with occasional drops, to reach about 70 in 2008:Q1. It then starts declining and drops to near negative 80 in 2008:Q4. The series starts 2009 at about negative 20 then begins increasing, peaking at almost 100 in 2011:Q2, before decreasing to about 20 by the end of the year. The series then fluctuates between about 30 and 80 before it ends in 2013:Q2 at close to 40.

The interest rate differential series starts in 2002 at about 4 and fluctuates around this level until it starts declining, reaching its trough of about 2 in early 2006. The series begins a steady increase in early 2007, peaking at a bit above 60 in mid-2008. The series then fluctuates between about 50 and 60 through the remainder of the horizon, ending a bit below 60.
